Movie-goers, television-watchers, and readers of novels --not to mention students of world spirituality-- have long been accustomed to the idea of paranormal partnerships between humans and angels and terrifying clashes with demons. What they had not seen or heard -until "Songs of the Angelic Gaze" -- were such passionate classic struggles presented in the voice of a modern poet who seemed to have occupied a front row seat to battle in both heaven and hell while transcribing all he witnessed into highly original and powerfully mesmerizing literary art.Those unfamiliar with "Songs of the Angelic Gaze" and "The Bridge of Silver Wings" will be glad to know that THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS contains all the works presented in the previous volume plus much more.… (meer)

As I have read his first published work, I Made My Boy Out of Poetry, it may be helpful for me to compare and contrast the two books. They are both intense and packed with meaning. There is still a sense of being mystically connected to nature. The spirituality is still rooted in body, time, place and family, but manages to transcend them.I particularly noticed was the commentary on historical events, such as 9/11.

Five Star Review. Wow. This is powerful stuff. Some of it heavenly, some of it from pain. It is elegant in its poetry. Profound in its thoughts.

Five Stars. Hire a book designer and you'd have a bestseller in the poetry genre. The poems were absolutely phenomenal...

“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
--Abraham Lincoln

“To continue one’s journey in the darkness with one’s footsteps guided by the illumination of remembered radiance is to know courage of a peculiar kind––the courage to demand that light continue to be light even in the surrounding darkness.”
--Howard Thurman

"The notion of one powerful dream dying and another rising amidst its ashes was new to me until the life and energy of a dream that for years had empowered my creative endeavors came to an end."

"the death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color. In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a metaphysical and metaphorical leap forward."
--Aberjhani
